Anyone here uses Otter boxes and/or Aquapacs for PSKs? Are there any other alternatives for a water proof PSK box?

I use Aloksaks, they are lighter and more flexible than Peli and Otter boxes but won't take as much abuse.

Currently I just place my PSK items in a small ziplock before putting them into a pouch which is the size of my palm.
Are the Aloksaks easy to open and close? Is the opening and close like Ziplocks?

I had a PSK in an otter-compatible box I took flying in a small plane. After I got back, I couldn't get it opened. After really tugging hard, it went PSSST and opened. I guess the air went out at altitude, and didn't go back in when I came down.

Yes, they are much like ZipLoc bags and easy to use. Aloksak

I currently use a Pelican 1010 case for my PSK. It is quite a bit larger than most want to carry, but I keep mine in my Maxpedition FatBoy or "man-purse" as my wife calls it. I don't even notice it. Waterproof, and holds everything I want it to.

I use an otterbox for my smaller PSK and I loved it until about tow months ago. I was bored during a typhoon one day in Japan so I was repacking my gear and I ran a test with my otterbox. I emptied it out and put it in a pitcher full of water for about 30 minutes. When I opened it to check its abilities, it had water in it. I was disappointed, especially due to the price of the box and all, but then I had a thought. This box was fully submerged for over half an hour, and it had water in it. Most everything that was in it would be ok, except of course for the tinder, but most would be fine.

Despite this experiment and in the driving rain of Fuji, Japan, it did hold tight. My only concern would be if I was in a boat that capsized or if I was thrown overboard at sea. A few people here gave me some advise on how to put in another seal, but I have been motivated enough to explore these projects yet.

All in all, I think it does better than an altoids tin for my needs, especially the "crush proofness" of the box itself.

Just my experience,

I use Aquapac, and have posted about them and links here. The one I use can be worn around your neck (with a break-away lanyard) OR on a belt.

Coincidentally, I just ordered a few of the various Witz boxes last week. I'm also looking for a waterproof alternative to ziplock bags.

Garret:

For what Otter charges for its products, it probably has a warranty if it was advertised as watertight.

Call them up and they may even provide prepaid return shipping to their plant for a replacement.

I am shipping back (2) Everready flashlights for warranty exchange and have a prepaid label from Everready so that shipping costs me nothing.

Good luck!
